About this event
Fostering a workplace culture that caters for all generations is key to any successful people strategy. Family-friendly working can improve inclusion, retention and engagement but what do we know about what workers of different ages actually want?
Bright Horizons’ Modern Families Index, tracking 3,000 working parents and carers, provides a rich dataset of key trends. One of the striking findings in the last couple of years is the rise of priority placed on family by the youngest generations at work.
Gen Z will make up 30% of the global workforce by 2030 and are famous for holding employers to account on their values as well as being more sober and risk-averse than older generations.
Millennials and Gen Z experience shifting ways of working. They expect to job-hop, retrain, switch careers, fit work into life alongside family, and will probably work for more of their lives.
This Personnel Today webinar, in association with Bright Horizons, examines the needs and wants of the younger generations at work and how employers and line managers can respond.
Personnel Today editor Rob Moss is joined by Jennifer Liston-Smith, head of thought leadership, and account manager Amanda-Jane McCann at Bright Horizons for a lively panel discussion providing you with actionable insights for how you attract and retain your younger staff.
